sidestrokes
Sideways swimming techniques
Sidestrokes are swimming strokes performed while lying on one's side, with the arms pulling alternately and the legs executing a scissors kick.
The sidestroke is efficient for long distances and used in lifesaving because it keeps one arm free: She swam sidestrokes across the lake, pacing herself.
